NASA Urges NYC Students To Study Math and Science

摘要

More than 200 students gathered March 22 to get a taste of space directly from NASA and an astronaut in orbit. Astronaut Leland Melvin - the space agency's associate administrator for education - and NASA's deputy chief Lori Garver met with the middle school and high school students at the Stephen Weiss Studio in New York during a forum aimed at encouraging young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. "One of our greatest responsibilities at NASA is inspiring the next generation of explorers to work hard and pursue their dreams," Garver said. "And it is my hope that some of those dreams include careers in science and engineering."
